From what I've gathered, Busse knives are a multi-national thing . . . so it's possible that there is a "French Connection" somewhere in there.

A search on Wikipedia determines that Busse means:
"An overwheming compulsion to purchase the toughest knives that money can buy without ever revealing the true monetary worth to your spouse."

Wife, does she really have to know?

You got that right. The Frogs can not even design a functional machine gun. Remember the Chauchat LMG?

the cheese eating surender monkeys did get one thing right as long as combat is concerned. When the going gets tough, drink some wine and let the real men do the job, FL was something special, prolly because it didn't have so many frogers.

"Bussey Surname Origin

(Origin French) Locality. From the town of Bussey, in the province of Burgundy, France. "


the only other entry online I found was in broken Portuguese, so the translation was preeeetty choppy. from what I could extract out of it, apparently busse appears commonly in central and north germany, and is used as a reduced form of an older German name "busrkhard". "busrkhard" was a combined form of "burgo", meaning castle, and "herti" or "harti", meaning "hard". according to that website, variations of busse include bub, bube, bussi, and bosse.

again though, choppy badly formatted Portuguese.

I remember Bosse name from Lindgren books - she is Sweden, so this is why I thought it may have Scandinavian origin.

Thanks, Vassili.

Whatever nationality Busse may have originated from, due to the amount of Scotch consumed by Mr. Busse, the Irish have officially adopted him, and now call him their own.
